How Conditional Fee Agreement Solicitors Could Help You

There are a number of common misconceptions about Conditional Fee Agreements (CFA), specifically how they are financed and under what conditions they operate. However, our panel of no win no fee solicitors covering Harlow conduct personal injury claims on the basis that they would not require an upfront payment. Instead, you will pay them once your claim had been settled from the payout you receive.

You may be wondering what sort of rates that a no win no fee solicitor would deduct from your compensation amount. In the event that a settlement amount is successfully claimed, the amount subtracted from the compensation sum is usually taken as a percentage. As it cannot be more than 25 percent, this leaves you the majority of your compensation settlement for your own benefit.

The way in which these claims work is via an agreement signed by both your lawyer and yourself that sets out the percentage and the conditions that must be met for your lawyer to receive this payment. Your lawyer might give you the advice to pay for an insurance policy to cover you in case of a loss for your claim, but this is something they would explain to you in more detail. Usually, once a claim is successfully settled, then you would receive your settlement, minus the legal fees at the pre-agreed percentage.
